Netbeans Lowercase Shortcut Not Working

Question

Netbeans has a nice set of keyboard shortcuts, but unfortunately, I can't seem to get all of them to work. Specifically, there's a keyboard shortcut for converting selected text to lowercase: Ctrl+U L. However, no matter how many times I try this (or variations on it), ~~nothing happens~~ I just get a 'ding' sound (it used to be that nothing happened). I check the Keymap option on Netbeans, and it shows that this is still the shortcut mapped to Ctrl+U L:

enter image description here

What am I doing wrong? How can I use this keyboard shortcut?

Note that Ctrl+; or Ctrl+Shift+; works just fine, among many other shortcuts.

Can you check if my answer is correct? – Ortomala Lokni Mar 23 '15 at 12:12 — Ortomala Lokni, Mar 23 '15 at 12:12

To activate this shortcut you have to hit Ctrl+U then release Ctrl and then hit L.

Thank you, that worked. I wish they wrote it as `(Ctrl + U) (L)` – Justin Mar 23 '15 at 15:32

It's like saying Ortomala Lokni

to uppercase a selection, press Ctrl + U then U without Ctrl

Let me add also:

to lowercase a selection, press Ctrl + U then L without Ctrl
to reverse case in the selection, press Ctrl + U then S wthout Ctrl
